You really see Hamilton as a full-fledged antihero in Act 2?
I'd never considered it that way. I'd like to think on that more.
But as for "It Would Be Enough," even that lyric shows us that LMM was concerned with setting up what Eliza wants. She wants practically nothing. Just stay alive. That would be enough.
All of that is super intentional on LMM's part... and I really think it's strategic in getting me to invest more fully in Alexander than Eliza for the bulk of the piece.
I would argue that I don't really care much about what Eliza wants until we see her as a grieving mother...
